"LATE LATE YOU ARE LATE LATE LATE YOU ARE LATE" Roxas flipped, only to realise too late that he had actually flipped out of bed. His head was pounding, ears ringing, as if they were adjusting to an unfamiliar environment. Even his sense of smell was messed up. Most importantly(to his great surprise), Roxas retained all of his memories. "ROXAS! GET OUT OF BED THIS INSTANT OR YOU WILL BE LATE FOR YOUR PSLE!" "Yes Mother!", Roxas instinctively replied. It was then, did the words register in his confused mind. PSLE? Not only that, he was in a room he had not seen in 13 years. Even his precious grandfather's White Tigerzord gift stood proudly on his desk! Confirming the reality of the situation with his reflection, he was once again 12 years old.

Roxas aced his PSLE(obviously), considering all the knowledge he had. O'levels were a breeze as well. Deciding to take the JC route for a change, he worked harder, harder than anyone else, appreciating the once-in-a-million lifetime opportunity. Roxas had also finally found the courage to ask the girl of his dreams, Aqua, out. Life was a series of success followed by more success. He had achieved the highest educational level, found cures to various diseases, such as cancer, and he was rich, successful, powerful and influential. Most importantly, he had a beautiful wife and two adorable kids. Yet somewhere deep down, he felt that something was still lacking, or rather, he had lost something he once had. Roxas spent much time and thought on this, but has never been able to come to a conclusion. Fortunately, Lady Luck would once again smile on him.

Chapter 1 - 2

"Bye guys, see ya tomorrow. I'm heading to Hougang today." Another end to yet another uneventful day at work, Roxas thought to himself. Waving goodbye, he headed for the bus-stop. After a ludricous one hour of waiting, the bus finally arrived. Oddly enough, the double-decked bus was empty. Paying no mind to the weirdness, Roxas boarded and took a seat in the second deck. After three stops, a man in a fedora boarded. This man looked like he was in his early forties, and was giving off the aura of one who had seen and done many things. Roxas's curiosity was piqued, but soon turn to nagging suspicion as the man set beside him, despite the many empty seats.

"Child." Roxas was shaken out of his reverie. Wondering who on earth would call him a "child", he looked around. The bus was still empty, barring himself and the man beside him.
"Are you speaking to me, Mr?"
"Excellent powers of observation young one. Indeed child, I am speaking to you. You don't see anyone else do you?"
"But I am not a ------"
"Child? Minor details, minor details. Let's not get our hair in knots shall we? I'm here to gove you a chance to turn your life around. To fix all past mistakes you have ever made. A chance to alter the past, to change the future. Will you accept?"
"Why me, out of so many people? What is the price I must pay?"
"Why you? I flipped a dice, so to speak. Randomness has decided that you got lucky, nothing more. No price, no sacrifice is needed. This will be the one time where lunch is free. Now, will you accept?"
It was the chance of the life time. Many people would kill, or worse, just for such an opportunity. Turning to the mysterious man(if you can call him a man), Roxas told him," I accept."
"Very new journey begins... Now!" Tapping Roxas on the head, the man stood up and left. Roxas started to blackout, wondering if this was all a horrendous mistake, with the last words from the man ringing in his ears: "Humanity will soon face its greatest tribulation. I pray this will be enough..."

Chapter 1

Roxas. A guy like every other ordinary person. With hopes and dreams, yet unable to achieve any, either by circumstance, ability or simply Fate's cruel hand. Each day, he gets up, goes to work, gets home, eat, logs onto Bodypage, checks out his pals' latest status updates, read some random stuff and heads to bed. Typically generic, also completely boring. Roxas yearns to do something, to shatter his clockwork universe, yet he does not know how to.

This tale, is Roxas's tale. It is a tale of one guy who changes his outlook, his perspective. It is a tale of how one person finds his values, and learns what he truly considers to be of importance. It is a tale of change, tragedy, adversity, and most of all, friendship and redemption.

Part 2 tml!
